Navigation, Robotics and 3D Printing in Spine Surgery


Free Download Navigation, Robotics and 3D Printing in Spine Surgery: Current and Emerging Techniques
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031686772 | 258 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 51 MB
Presenting the most up-to-date, cutting -edge techniques and technologies,this book provides the reader with an overview of contemporary approaches for degenerative, deformity and minimally invasive spine surgery. Sensibly divided into four main sections, the opening chapter describes the history of spinal navigation and a brief summary of the current categories: imaging based navigation using optical systems; robotic navigation systems; and the use of 3D printed patient-specific navigation. Within each of these sections are chapters addressing patient positioning, surgical planning, specific technologies and instrumentation, and a summary of current clinical findings, with an eye toward best practices in planning and execution. A final section discusses additional considerations for these modalities, including economic and legal aspects of these procedures.

Qualitative sichtbasierte Navigation in unstrukturierten Umgebungen


Free Download Qualitative sichtbasierte Navigation in unstrukturierten Umgebungen By Thomas Wagner (auth.)
2011 | 228 Pages | ISBN: 3834814245 | PDF | 4 MB
Navigation ist eine der fundamentalsten Aufgaben eines natürlichen kognitiven Systems und wird selbst von einfachen Organismen auf der Basis minimaler räumlicher Informationen und geringer Verarbeitungskapazität mit erstaunlicher Robustheit und Präzision gelöst. Thomas Wagner untersucht die grundlegende Frage, welche räumlichen Informationen zur Navigation benötigt werden, während aktuelle klassische Ansätze zur Navigation darauf fokussieren, ein Maximum an Informationen zu verarbeiten. Der Autor zeigt formal wie auch in der Simulation, dass bei geeigneter Modellierung bereits reines egozentrisches Reihenfolgewissen (Ordnungsinformationen) ausreicht, um komplexe Navigationsleistungen robust zu vollbringen.

State Responsibility for Interferences with the Freedom of Navigation in Public International Law


Free Download State Responsibility for Interferences with the Freedom of Navigation in Public International Law By Dr. Philipp Wendel (auth.)
2007 | 286 Pages | ISBN: 3540743324 | PDF | 4 MB
A multitude of conventions in the area of the Law of the Sea contains provisions on the issue of compensation for (wrongful) interferences with navigation. Even though interferences by warships and coast guard vessels, due to a perceived increased risk of international crimes at sea, seem to have become more frequent, the compensation provisions have hardly been applied. The book analyses all relevant compensation provisions and compares them to the general law of state responsibility. This necessarily includes a discussion of issues like the responsibility of international organizations, liability for lawful conduct and several and joint liability in public international law.

Primer of Navigation With Problems in Practical Work and Complete Tables


Free Download George W. Mixter, "Primer of Navigation: With Problems in Practical Work and Complete Tables"
English | ISBN: 0393035085 | | 602 pages | PDF | 100 MB
Since 1940, Mixter’s Primer of Navigation has been the most relied-upon guide for sailors and boaters throughout the world. Within three years of its original publication, the book went through fifteen printings; in 1943 the second edition appeared and was followed by seven reprintings. In the early 1940s, the text was widely used as the primary resource in the training of navigators for service in World War II. After the war, when pleasure sailing and boating became an increasingly popular pastime, Primer of Navigation found a new audience of readers eager to ensure their families and friends of safe, pleasurable, bluewater adventures.

Inertial Navigation Systems with Geodetic Applications


Free Download Inertial Navigation Systems with Geodetic Applications By Christopher Jekeli
2000 | 364 Pages | ISBN: 3110159031 | PDF | 13 MB
This book covers all aspects of inertial navigation systems (INS), including the sensor technology and the estimation of instrument errors, as well as their integration with the Global Positioning System (GPS) for geodetic applications. Complete mathematical derivations are given. Both stabilized and strapdown mechanizations are treated in detail. Derived algorithms to process sensor data and a comprehensive explanation of the error dynamics provide not only an analytical understanding but also a practical implementation of the concepts. A self-contained description of GPS, with emphasis on kinematic applications, is one of the highlights in this book.The text is of interestto geodesists, including surveyors, mappers, and photogrammetrists; to engineers in aviation, navigation, guidance, transportation, and robotics; and to scientists involved in aerogeophysics and remote sensing.
